The servants waiting in the room knew that the young lady was afraid of the cold, so they burned silver carbon in the heater every day, and the heat never stopped for a moment.

The whole room is now filled with the warm scent of osmanthus.

After Fen'er finished describing the scene he bumped into at the second lady's place tonight in a trembling voice, Dou Lianyi continued calmly.

"She's quite bold."

But Bai Zhi couldn't help but asked: "Can you see it really clearly? Are they really the second lady and the servant named Li Ke? You can't lie to our young lady, don't think that our young lady has a good temper." , easy to talk, just thinking about nonsense!"

"I don't dare to talk nonsense. This matter is absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. If the young lady doesn't believe it, I will swear to God. If there is even half a lie, I will be struck by lightning from the sky and die badly. "

Hearing this, Fen'er was so anxious that she raised three fingers and wanted to swear to God.

However, Dou Lianyi just raised her hand, so that she didn't need to do this to prove herself.

Seeing that Dou Lianyi was just silent, Bai Zhi bent down and whispered in her ear: "Young madam, do you want Xiao Liuzi to investigate this matter first, just in case the second lady did this deliberately?" Show it to us, or..."

Speaking of this, Bai Zhi raised her eyes and glanced at Fen'er, frowning, and there was a little distrust of her in her unfinished words.

After all, Fen'er is the second lady's maid. Even though the young lady has helped her before and won over people's hearts, Bai Zhi still doesn't believe it.

Dou Lianyi knew what Bai Zhi was worried about, but she didn't think Fen'er would have the guts to come and deceive her.

What's more, she believed that she had been kind to others in her past lives, so no one would be stupid enough to seek refuge with a cruel master like Lu Lianzhi.

Could it be that Lu Lianzhi really did this unruly thing because she had been ignored by Lu Shangxuan in the past few months and couldn't bear the loneliness?
But she clearly remembered that Lu Lianzhi was deeply in love with Lu Shangxuan in her previous life, so she even concealed Dong Geer's identity and waited until the end to reveal all the secrets.

How could it be possible that things would change in this lifetime?
Just when Dou Lianyi was puzzled, Yuzhu's gentle knock on the door came from outside the room.

"Young lady, I asked the kitchen to cook you a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus porridge. Would you like to take a sip to warm yourself up?"

Seeing Dou Lianyi nodding, Bai Zhi was about to walk over and open the door, but she heard Xiao Liuzi say very cleverly: "Why do you need to do such a small thing yourself, sister Bai Zhi? Let me do it!"

After saying that, Xiao Liuzi turned around and trotted over to open the door for Yuzhu.

"Sister Yuzhu, come in quickly. It's raining a lot outside. Be careful of catching a cold."

Yuzhu rolled his eyes at Xiao Liuzi angrily, and scolded with a smile: "With your diligence, no wonder you can please the young lady."

"It's not like I've been following Sister Yuzhu and Sister Bai Zhi for a long time before I learned how to see. Hehe."

Xiao Liuzi touched the back of his head and said with a smile, while not forgetting to close the door tightly.

Yuzhu stopped chatting with him, but walked in with sweet osmanthus porridge, knelt down to Dou Lianyi, and said: "Young madam, I saw that Xiao Liuzi came to see you late at night, so I must have something to ask for." We were discussing things, and when I saw it was raining outside again, I thought you were afraid of the cold, so I asked the kitchen man to cook you a bowl of sweet porridge without permission to warm yourself up."

"You have always been a considerate person."

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi smiled gently and waved to Yuzhu, asking her to come over.When passing by Fen'er, Yuzhu glanced at her subconsciously, feeling a little unfamiliar, but didn't ask much.

On the contrary, when Fen'er saw the bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus porridge, he suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly: "Young lady, Li Ke also asked the kitchen man to cook a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus soup tonight. I want to give the second lady something to drink to replenish her health!"

"When will sweet-scented osmanthus soup be able to nourish the body? It would be more credible if you said it warms the stomach."

Bai Zhi didn't believe Fen'er at first, but when she saw her saying this, she even sneered.

"Okay, Bai Zhi, listen to her."

"No, Li Ke really said that. My servant was doing something in the kitchen and happened to hear him mention something to others, but I didn't know much about the reason..."

Dou Lianyi raised her hand to stop Bai Zhi from talking, and said gently to Fen'er: "It's okay. Speak slowly, I believe you."

Seeing the young lady speaking to him in such a gentle tone, Fen'er was no longer as flustered and uneasy as he was at the beginning.

She calmed down and thought about it carefully, and she really remembered a little strange thing.

"Actually, I thought it was strange at the time. The sweet-scented osmanthus syrup had a faint bitter taste for some reason. After thinking about it carefully, I guessed that it might be the taste of tonic."

Dou Lianyi frowned slightly. She knew the monthly payment of each courtyard in the house very well. Judging from Lu Lianzhi's habit of spending money lavishly, it was impossible for her to have spare money to buy herself any so-called supplements. .

And it was so luxuriously added to an ordinary sugar water.

Yuzhu also thought of this. She glanced at Dou Lianyi with some doubts. Although she didn't ask, her meaning was clearly expressed.

"It's really strange," Dou Lianyi thoughtfully took a pick and picked the candle in front of her, listening to the crackling sound it made, "Is there anything else that makes you feel a little weird? "

"strange?"

Fen'er blinked in confusion, frowned and thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "When Li Ke passed by the slave, the slave seemed to smell a very light fragrance, and she couldn't tell. What kind of fragrance is that? Anyway, I feel dizzy after smelling it.”

The green smoke from the burning sweet-scented osmanthus tree lingered faintly. Dou Lianyi looked up at Fen'er from behind the smoke with a calm expression. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about her words or deeds, she believed it in her heart.

Hanging out with a servant, so Lu Lianzhi was throwing a stone at her own foot.

"I already know about this."

After a while, Dou Lianyi responded softly, paused and then continued: "But I hope you will not mention this matter to the second person, unless I need you to testify on that day."

In the rising wisps of green smoke, she half-smiled and said, "But if you are eager to protect the master and just want to be with your second lady, then just pretend that we don't have this conversation tonight."

"No!"

Hearing this, Fen'er shook her head desperately. She never wanted to return to Lu Lianzhi to serve her.
